RECOVERY AND ANALYSIS OF ACCIDENT DATA FROM FLIGHT RECORDERS IN CANADIAN TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT

A Playback Center has been established that is acquiring unique experience in recovering and analyzing information from a wide range of aircraft audio and data recorders. In particular, the Center has been designed to handle all cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders fitted to Canadian civil and military transport aircraft. Recorders are forwarded to the Center whenever incidents or accidents warrant investigation by the authorities concerned. The playback facilities have been designed with special emphasis on the problems that might be encountered in these cases. Routine monitoring is also conducted on the military systems for maintenance purposes. Current and future capabilities of the Center are summarized and examples given of some of the work that has been undertaken.
